Where Brighton & Hove 10K starts and finishes
Brighton & Hove 10K starts at Hove Lawns / Hove Promenade and finishes at Hove Lawns / Hove Promenade. We haven't been able to place those on a map accurately enough to show one — a pin in the wrong place is worse than no pin.
These are the start and finish points, not the route. Verus doesn't hold course files for this race, and drawing a line between two pins would be a guess you might end up training on. The official course map is the one to use: view it on the organiser's site .

Training Strategy for Brighton & Hove 10K
6-10 weeks is a solid window for a 10K, whether it's your first or you're chasing a PB. Consistency and a weekly speed or threshold session matter more here than sheer mileage.
This is a largely flat course, so most of your long runs can mirror that — flat and steady, building time on feet rather than hill strength.
Ease off mileage in the final week, keeping a couple of short, sharp race-pace efforts to stay fresh. Arrive at Hove Lawns / Hove Promenade fresh, energized, and primed — not fit, fresh.
Lock in your target pace using the interactive splits calculator below — no official pacers are confirmed for this event, so a pace band on your watch is the more reliable option.
Test your race-day fuel and hydration plan on your long training runs, not for the first time on race day — check the Race Day Checklist below for what's actually on this course.
10K Nutrition & Fueling Plan
A modest increase in carbohydrate intake over the 2-3 days before the race is the reliable approach for a race of this length.
Breakfast should be carb-focused and eaten 2-3 hours before the start, using whatever you've already proven works in training.
A 10K rarely needs on-course fuel for most runners — water stations are the main provision at this distance.
The first hour after finishing is when carbohydrate and protein do the most for recovery.
